SAND-RITE MANUFACTURING CO.

"I did it! I bought a sander...

"I did it! I bought a sander...and who could go wrong with a name like "Sand-Rite".



Yesterday, I did one last "Google" search...this time for "pneumatic drum", and I found "Sand-Rite". They took a special trip to the warehouse for me to measure the height of the stand (37" from the floor to the sanding surface on the bottom of the drum). Normally their minimum order on the abrasive sleeves is ten of each size and grit, but I told her I didn't really know what I was doing, so she let me order just a couple. Phew.



Sand-Rite sells a variety of different drum sizes and "coarser and finer grits are available on special order (prices on request)." I think I've given myself a large margin for error on this particular purchase.



I'm absolutely convinced that a pneumatic drum is a good move...the testimonials on the "Sand-Rite" website were from folks who made paddles, boomerangs, and duck decoys. What else is a cowboy boot or last, but a cross between a paddle, boomerang, and duck decoy?"

Captain Bobs Decoys

"The pneumatic sanding drum was introduced to the decoy making business in the early 70’s. Since then it has become a permanent fixture in most decoy makers and bird carver shops. It works very well in sanding the contours of the bodies and heads of the birds we carve.


I have tried other abrasives from other companies, but none hold up as good as Sand-Rite’s. The pneumatic drums also hold up very well, with very low maintenance on them.


The service is fast and dependable. In our shop this sander is used every day and is unreplaceable."

Colorado Boomerangs

“The Sand-Rite sander with the pneumatic drum on one side and the B-12 on the other has become an absolute invaluable tool in the production of my boomerangs. Colorado Boomerangs are considered by many around the world to be among the best, if not THE best, production boomerangs in the world. And, if it weren’t for the Sand-Rite tool, Colorado Boomerangs would not even exist. For speed and quality of work, I have never seen any tool that comes close to the Sand-Rite. It sands the boomerangs without changing the airfoils, and gives it a better than hand sanded finish.


From the unpainted blank stage to the completed stage, only the Sand-Rite touches the boomerangs. It is a very large part of the reason that my company has grown from a hobby size operation to world wide sales.”

"I got this OLD Sand-Rite...

“I got this OLD Sand-Rite from a friend because it didn’t run and the owner was going to pitch it. It looked really sad – flat drum, leaky grease fitting, and only spun half-heartedly.



I found Sand-Rite on the net and got some pricing info on rebuilding the drums. Not only that, Naomi talked with the techs in back and let me know how to break the rusty nuts loose with ease. I sent her the drums and set about cleaning up the machine.


Steel wool, naval jelly, and a new grease nipple and start-up capacitor and she really hums! And when Naomi called and sent back the rebuilt drums, it looked good too (except now I’m going to have to paint the frame to match the rest of the clean new gear). But how the heck to check a drum pressure of 2.5 psi?



Naomi comes through again with a link to Amazon for the perfect pressure gadge. And then she sends me instructions on set up, maintenance, and how to rebuild the drums myself. I love this solid old machine and I love the service that keeps it running. Might even have to get the new model.”

Brodin Landing Nets

"We use Sand-Rite inflatable sanders for all of our finishing sanding in the production of our wooden frame landing nets. For products which have convex and concave surfaces such as our nets, inflatable sanders are the best tool for producing an excellent finish in the least amount of time. Without them, our business would not be profitable!


We have been pleased with the performance of the Sand-Rites. They are well balanced and always run true. I have used others that wobble slightly on their axis, and I can assure you that that is very hard on hands and arms."
